At IFA, Anker introduced MindBase, a local smart-home hub that doubles as a network storage device with a 64GB SSD and two bays for 2.5- or 3.5-inch drives. Paired with Eufy cameras and sensors like the Video Doorbell S4 and Fall Detection Sensor, its onboard AI can analyze events in real time and respond to threats through lighting changes, verbal warnings, or vague 'active deterrence' measures. Anker has not disclosed pricing or a release date.

Anker's Eufy division introduced MindBase, a home AI hub that processes data from its security, energy, cleaning and audio devices entirely on-device using a custom LLM and AI chip, avoiding cloud servers. The hub connects via Anker's EasyOmni Link platform and supports Matter, letting it work alongside Apple Home, Alexa and Google Home devices. Eufy also debuted new security hardware, including a radar-equipped Smart Security Shield sensor and a 3K doorbell with facial recognition that identifies familiar faces from up to 30 meters away.
